But I was got one day, I still don't know how

This fellow said "Stranger why don't you just go on home?"

And you couldn't stop me if you knew what to do."
E7 A7
And I left and I planned to go alone

D
But the road was long and home was far
G
So I stopped off at this little cowboy-looking bar
E7 A7
I walked on through the door and she just smiled

In a long pony tail and a pretty white dress
G
She said "Hi, bull riders do it best."

I said "Oh my God, what's your name?

My name's Lyle."

And I said ooh give back my heart chipkicker-redneck woman

Take your boots and walk out of my life

D
I looked at her and she looked at me
G
And I looked back and she looked back

And we went out together for a walk

Her eyes were bright just like the stars
